  2. Cure-Lore

    Share Share Post
    In this district we have a sure cure for a person who has a pain in his stomach.
    The first thing to be done is to get horse's fresh manure and tie it tightly in a cloth. This is then put in milk and boiled. When well boiled the milk is given to the person with the pain. After a while the pain ceases.
